Description The Hives are large-scale housing structures developed as an efficient method of providing housing to lower-class people. They get their name mostly from the design: each “house” is a plain hexagonal room shaped like a honeycomb cell, and they all fit together to the shape of a beehive. That’s the rationale for the name on paper, but some people living there think it holds an unspoken symbolism and bias.
The Hives were developed as part of Korea’s nationwide, continual efforts to provide social services to the entire country, and have been working very well. Homelessness in Korea has dropped to an all-time low because of The Hives, and it keeps dropping each time a new Hive is opened. They have about a dozen Hives in Neo-Seoul alone, whereas smaller towns and cities might only have one or two. Even though The Hives seem depressing to passersby, a decent amount of those living there opt to see it differently through AR.
